Terminal device, personal mobility, method for controlling the personal mobility

Abstract

A terminal device and a personal mobility communicating with terminal device are disclosed. The personal mobility receives gesture information about a leader gesture recognized by a terminal when in a leader state while performing a group riding mode. Additionally, the personal mobility identifies intention information corresponding to the received gesture information and transmits the identified intention information to another personal mobility in the follower state. At least one of a illuminator or sound output are operated based on the identified intention information and the transmitted intention information from the personal mobility in the leader state is displayed through display while performing the group riding mode.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A personal mobility, comprising:
 a display; 
 a communicator configured to perform communication with a terminal device and other personal mobility devices; 
 a storage configured to store intention information corresponding to gesture information; and 
 a controller configured to:
 activate a driving signal mode when a gesture corresponding to the gesture information received through the communicator is a starting gesture, in response to receiving the gesture information through the communicator during the driving signal mode, 
 identify the intention information corresponding to the received gesture information based on information stored in the storage, control the communicator to transmit the identified intention information to the other personal mobility devices, and 
 control the display to display the identified intention information. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The personal mobility according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to check a direction to transmit the intention information based on the identified gesture information, and transmit the identified intention information to one of the other personal mobility devices located in the checked direction among the other personal mobility devices. 
     
     
       3. The personal mobility according to  claim 2 , wherein the direction to transmit the identified intention direction is a relative direction to the personal mobility. 
     
     
       4. The personal mobility according to  claim 2 , wherein the communicator is configured to receive present location information and location information of one of the other personal mobility devices, and the controller is configured to recognize direction of the one of the other personal mobility devices based on the received present location and the location information of the one of the other personal mobility devices by the communicator. 
     
     
       5. The personal mobility according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the identified intention information includes at least one of acceleration, braking, slow riding, stop, rearward-attention, forward-attention, obstacle attention, left turn, right turn, overtaking, single line driving, and two line driving. 
 
     
     
       6. The personal mobility according to  claim 5 , wherein:
 wherein the identified intention information includes direction information corresponding to a transmission direction for transmitting the identified intention information, 
 wherein the overtaking and rearward-attention includes the direction information corresponding to a front side of the personal mobility, 
 wherein the slow riding, obstacle attention, left turn, right turn includes direction information corresponding to a rear side of the personal mobility, and 
 wherein the single line driving, two line driving, failure and charging includes the direction information corresponding to the front side of the personal mobility and rear side of the personal mobility. 
 
     
     
       7. The personal mobility according to  claim 1  further comprising:
 an illuminator configured to perform turning on light, turning off light, or flashing; and 
 a sound output configured to output sound, and 
 wherein the controller is configured to execute at least one of actions of the illuminator and the sound output based on the identified intention information. 
 
     
     
       8. The personal mobility according to  claim 1 , wherein the other personal mobility devices includes one personal mobility located within a preset range. 
     
     
       9. The personal mobility according to  claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to control the communicator to transmit the identified intention information to the other personal mobility devices when the other personal mobility devices are in a group riding state. 
     
     
       10. The personal mobility according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to recognize the gesture by the received gesture information and check the number of times the same gesture was recognized, and identify the intention information corresponding to the recognized gesture in response to determining that the identified number of times is a preset number of times. 
     
     
       11. The personal mobility according to  claim 1  further comprising:
 a board; 
 at least one wheel provided on the board and rotated by a motor; 
 a brake indicator lamp provided on a rear side of the board, a left direction indicator lamp provided on a left side of the board, a right direction indicator lamp provided on a right side of the rear side of the board, and a warning indicator lamp provided on a bottom surface of the board. 
 
     
     
       12. The personal mobility according to  claim 11 , wherein, when the personal mobility is in follower state while performing a group riding mode, the controller is configured to adjust operation of the motor based on the identified intention information. 
     
     
       13. The personal mobility according to  claim 1  further comprising:
 an image acquirer configured to acquire a front side image, 
 wherein the controller is configured to identify a movement direction of arms and hands of a leader based on the acquired image when the personal mobility is in the follower state while performing a group riding mode, identify the gesture information of the leader based on the identified movement direction of arms and hands of the leader, and identify the intention information corresponding to the identified gesture information of the leader. 
 
     
     
       14. The personal mobility according to  claim 13 , wherein, when the personal mobility is in the follower state while performing the group riding mode, the controller is configured to check a size of a personal mobility that is the leader state in the acquired image identify the gesture information based on the acquired image when the checked size is a predetermined size or more, and receive the gesture information from the personal mobility in the leader state when the checked size is less than the predetermined size. 
     
     
       15. The personal mobility of  claim 13  further comprising:
 a distance detector configured to detect a distance with a personal mobility in the leader state, 
 wherein, when the personal mobility is in the follower state while performing the group riding mode, the controller is configured to identify the gesture information based on the acquired image when the detected distance is more than a predetermined distance, and receive the gesture information from the personal mobility in the leader state when the detected distance is less than the predetermined distance.
